<p>I just filed my FAFSA and listed the six school that I would most like to go to and are most likely to receive grants from, since getting aid for those ones makes the most sense. However, I have a seventh, Stanford, that I was unable to fit. I know that I'm supposed to go back and correct my FAFSA and replace one of the schools with Stanford's name after a school has received the FAFSA.</p>
<p>Since I just filed, it says it will take three to four days to be processed; that's the 1st or 2nd of March, which is a bit close to the deadline. So my question has to do with when I should swap out one of my schools with Stanford. Are the schools only able to receive the FAFSA after the 3~4 day processing time has elapsed? Does the deadline even matter (I've paid for and submitted some applications a week late and have had no problems)??</p>
<p>What should I do?
And if someone would be kind enough to answer: what about the IDOC form? My CSS PROFILE was submitted last month, but we still haven't touched the IDOC, and it sounds like it has to be in soon... but again, are the deadlines strictly enforced?</p>
